Discover Sustainability 2030​
We have placed sustainability at the heart of our purpose and made a promise to advance a sustainable energy future for all.

Sustainability 2030 is our new strategic plan for sustainability, summarizing our key commitments to act and drive business in a sustainable way. 
 
Through Sustainability 2030, we are advancing four key areas: Planet. People. Peace. Partnerships. 
 
Each of these areas has corresponding targets, which are closely aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, adding social, environmental and economic value.

Hitachi Energy is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe through Sustainability 2030 we can make a significant contribution to these 8 SDGs. We will do this through corresponding targets in the areas of Planet, People, Peace and Partnership.

100% Fossil-free electricity

Hitachi Energy has reached its first-step target to use 100% fossil-free electricity in its own operations in 2022, stepping up the pace in achieving its Sustainability 2030 target of becoming carbon-neutral.

Towards carbon-neutral

Carbon-neutral energy system

Electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system

Our world needs to deliver upon urgent climate change commitments and circular economy. The Energy Transition is key. ​

Perspectives

Humanising Energy

Our people and technology behind the energy transition
For over a century, many of Hitachi Energy’s transformer factories across the world have been an integral part of people’s lives. One of those places is Ludvika, an idyllic town set amidst pristine forests and lakes in Sweden, producing some of the largest transformers in the world. Behind the transformers are our highly skilled and passionate people who continue to make tailor-made transformers by hand with great care. Our rich history and deep connection in this small town have allowed families to work for us for decades and across generations towards a sustainable energy future.
Fighting wildfires with innovation in Australia
In Victoria, Australia, Hitachi Energy played a significant role in building a climate-resilient and reliable grid, effectively mitigating risks of wildfire in the area. The Spark Prevention Unit is an innovative technology that prevents sparks or arcing from surge arresters, putting a stop to fires breaking out even before they start. Victoria’s resilient grid goes beyond preventing fires, it protects communities, wildlife and the environment.
The quality of life for cities of the future
In Nantes, France, Hitachi Energy’s unique flash-charging technology, Grid-eMotion™ Flash, is helping the city to transition to sustainable mobility. Grid-eMotion Flash enables Semitan, the bus operator, to flash-charge its e-buses within seconds at passenger stops. Moreover, the reduced size of the batteries increases passenger capacity. Thanks to this solution, passengers now enjoy a cleaner, quieter and smoother journey.
Resilience in a remote fishing town
In Cordova, Alaska, we helped to establish a microgrid that supports the adoption of renewable power from multiple sources. This enables the community to reduce its reliance on diesel.
